Welcome to the Weird
and Wonderful World of the Buffyverse The Buffyverse is an undeniably bizarre place -- a world where the melding of
magic and science is a defining feature, and mystical convergences and
otherworldly phenomena are everyday occurrences. Through examples from the hit
TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel -- and the
vampires, demons, witches and interdimensional portals therein -- acclaimed
science writer Jennifer Ouellette explains complicated principles of biology,
chemistry, and theoretical physics. From electricity, conservation of energy,
and special relativity to wormholes, black holes, and string theory, The
Physics of the Buffyverse provides a serious shot of science for those who
prefer their physics with a pop-culture chaser. pub date: 2006-12-26 | paperback | 9780143038627 |
